Graphics

Adding Titles to Graphs

In MATLAB, a title is a text string at the top of an axes. Titles typically define the subject of the graph.

There are several ways to add a title to a graph:

• Using the Title Option on the Insert Menu
• Using the Property Editor to Add a Title
• Using the title Function

Note    While you can use text annotations to create a title for your graph, it is not recommended. Titles are anchored to the top of the axes they describe; text annotations are not. If you move or resize your axes, the title remains at the top. Additionally, if you cut a title and then paste it back into a figure, the title will no longer be anchored to the axes.
